“Would that make you feel better?” I ask.

Startled by my question, she whips her gaze to mine. “Sir?”

“Kára, I don’t like to see you so worried. If going to the human world would make you feel better, I’ll allow it.”

I know what people think: that I’m only invested in my own interests. But that’s simply not the case. I have rules and am hard on the Valkyries and Warriors because I need to keep my heaven in order. I do what I do for survival. Not only of myself, but of them.

“I think it would be best if I went,” she says, nibbling on her bottom lip nervously.

Kára is typically calm and controlled. She’s my strongest Valkyrie, despite others believing it’s Herja. I hate seeing her so unsettled.

“Then go. Check in on him. But be careful, Kára,” I tell her. “Don’t disclose any information I haven’t yet approved.”

Viking

“You really can’t get drunk?”

I shake my head as I carry the last keg inside. Trooper has had question after question since we got past our pissing match outside the other day. I don’t mind answering them, especially if he can get them out of his system before Makayla shows up tonight.

“We normally don’t sleep either, but the Valkyries worked some mojo on us during the transition and sleep comes too easily here. Unfortunately, that mojo doesn’t extend to everything.”

Trooper sets the case of whiskey bottles on the floor behind the bar, and I place the keg next to it.

“I’m surprised they didn’t strip you of your abilities,” he comments.

“Honestly, me too,” I admit. “If one of us accidentally uses them where a human can see, we’d be in a world of trouble.” I smirk at him. “Well, a human other than you and the other brothers.”

“Yo, Viking!”

I turn toward the stairs and see Inferno and Rave striding in our direction.

“What’s up?”

“We reached out to all of their chapter’s contacts,” Inferno says with a grin. “This is gonna be one helluva party if everyone shows up.”

“Which is exactly what we need,” I say. “Makayla has to see that we’re established in the area. If it was only us here, she'd be suspicious for sure.”

“I don’t know, Pres,” Demo says as he steps out of the kitchen. “The way she was drooling over you at Cherry’s… Pretty sure she wants your cock and won’t even notice other people.”

The thought of Makayla anywhere near my cock makes it harden to an almost painful degree. My brain screams ‘you can’t have her’, but my body clearly isn’t listening.

“Can we talk about something else?” I demand, adjusting myself.

Demo chuckles. “I’m a little worried about you, Pres. By the time we get to go home, you’re gonna have a serious case of blue balls.”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Leave him alone,” Inferno orders. “Viking has to be on his game tonight, and you taunting him isn’t helping.”

Demo holds his hands up and backs away while shaking his head.

Smart man. I was about to find some water to drown him in.

“Speaking of tonight,” Trooper begins. “Is there anything we can do to help with your mission?”

“Nah. Just being here is enough. It gives us credibility.”
